Ah yes spectromancer, I bought it a while back before stardock sold their platform (impulse) to gamestop.

Joxer, the point is to play a strategy game, where strategy and luck both play a certain role…How you build your deck to make sure the probability are on your side. What you think your oponent is going to field and adjusting accordingly.

They could be characters with stats instead and then it would be considered a turn based strategy game. And if it means to be silly to find those game fun, well…Then I don't mind being silly for liking a TBS with nice art.
